Social media was rocked yesterday by the news that Moira Dela Torre and her husband, Jason Fernandez, announced their separation after three years of marriage.
“Though my love for her has always been genuine, a few months ago, I confessed to Moira that I have been unfaithful to her during our marriage. I believe that she deserved to know the truth rather than continue down a ‘peaceful’ but dishonest path. I take full responsibility and I’m doing my best to be better,” he posted on Facebook last night, May 31.
There are reports about who the third party was, but these are unverified as of writing.
Many were heartbroken by the news, especially since they’re role models for couples. Jesus was at the center of their relationship. Love was blossoming. In the end, Mr. Hernandez couldn’t resist the temptation that led to the collapse of their relationship.
With this, fear enveloped a lot of couples, asking whether they could last long amidst startling revelations from their idols.
“Natatakot na ko sa mga naghihiwalay na nababalitaan ko, feeling ko I let go ko na si Cong sabihin ko sa kanya pag gising,” the vlogger Viy Cortez joked on Facebook.
One must learn to resist the never-ending temptations permeating society. That resistance is a testament to contentment and sincerity and love.
But don’t be fearful.
Everyone charts their own story, different from that of their idols. When they break up, it doesn’t mean it would ripple elsewhere.
Trust, the core of any relationship, can be solidified with open and active communication. Both parties must resist the urge to keep anything – as in, anything – from one another because that’s where the complications begin.
And one must learn to resist the never-ending temptations permeating society. That resistance is a testament to contentment and sincerity and love.
Mr. Hernandez chose the wrong path. But girls must not fear their boyfriends will follow him, especially if they know that the man that they love has learned the right values throughout the way.
So, while vigilance is necessary, fear should be ruled out of the picture.
And when the love doesn’t work out, either time has not yet come or another person is destined for you.
